I understand it can be a struggle for some of us, allowing technology to be a lifeline for connection with one another but God is being glorified and truth is being proclaimed. I am so proud of our church family! The way you have reached out to stay connected to the body of Christ has been wonderful. Life has thrown us a curveball and the people of CrossRidge have responded unified as a church family. Ministry continues, although it looks…

I grew up in church and pretty much if the doors were open, I was there. I’ve had more potlucks than homework assignments and sat in more pews and sang more verses of “Just As I Am” than a Fitbit can count. I remember my dad telling people he had a drug problem growing up. He would say his parents’ drug him to church all the time. Obviously, the apple didn’t fall far from the tree. My parents were always…

Drop-off at CrossRidge Church as ended. Please check OCC website for other locations: Each year we partner with Samaritan Ministries for Operation Christmas Child.

What a great week we’re having at ROAR VBS. We are blessed to be able to teach so many kids about Jesus through arts and crafts, skits, stories and more. Kids are also having a blast making new friends, seeing old ones and getting to play in all sorts of crazy rec games outside. We know everyone gets excited about our Boys vs Girls Penny Contest. We’ll be sure to post the winners here but not before we’ve had a…

As the summer comes to an end and August approaches quickly, school starts back soon for many of our students. With school comes all kinds of expenses from clothes, athletics, band, supplies and more. This month’s Dollar Day went towards buying backpacks and school supplies. Helping Out Along with using the money from Dollar Day for July, we have also been accepting donations to help fill even more backpacks. As in the past, we have partnered with Little Elm ISD and…

We received a special surprise as one of the Lovepacs delivery trucks stop by the church and let us see what a delivery looks like. They had 290 boxes ready to go to help feed over 1,000 children in our area during Spring Break.

Finally, the new website is here! It has been a long time coming and we have worked hard and put in a lot of time on getting it going for a while now.

We contacted LEFD in January and asked them if we could use our Dollar Day dollars from February to bless them by buying groceries and helping to stock their pantries and they responded with a resounding “YES!”

January Dollar Day, $939 went to Little Elm Area Food Bank which helped to restock their shelves after the busy holidays. We have been partners with the food bank for many years with some of our own members faithfully giving and serving in it.

Not long ago, my fridge at home went out and we needed another one. Being one always looking for a deal I found an open box buy that was in our price point. They delivered it but unfortunately, it didn’t work. Maybe there was a reason it was an open box? Anyways, the place we bought it had a more expensive model that they gave us for the same price. It was delivered, and it worked. Yay! No more living…
